Jaipur, 19 June 2026: Giving great relief to the employees and officers of the state, the Rajasthan government has removed the long-implemented transfer ban. The government led by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has given permission to start the transfer process from June 19 to July 5, 2026. This decision is expected to benefit thousands of employees and officers across the state.
Transfers will take place from June 19 to July 5.
According to the order issued by the Administrative Reforms Department, transfers will be made in various departments of the state government on the basis of administrative needs and demand of employees. The government believes that this will improve the working system in the departments and long pending transfer related matters will be resolved.
These employees will get special priority
The Rajasthan government has decided to give preference to certain categories of employees during the transfer process. These include:
- single female employee
- widow employee
- abandoned female employee
- disabled employee
- employee suffering from serious illness
- Both husband and wife are employees working in government service.
The Government has directed that such cases should be considered on priority and if possible, the husband and wife should be posted at the same place or in a nearby area.
Transfer ban will still be applicable on which employees?
Although the government has allowed transfers in most departments, some sections have been kept out of the process for the time being.
These include:
- Third grade teacher of education department
- Medical and Health Department Employees
The ban on transfers of these two categories of employees will continue till further orders.
The order will be applicable to all departments and institutions
This order of the government will not be limited only to government departments, but will also apply to various corporations, boards, boards and autonomous bodies of the state. This will provide opportunity for transfer to a large number of employees.
Decision taken after demand of MLA and ministers
The issue of removing the transfer ban was under discussion for the last several months. Recently, in the BJP Legislature Party meeting held at the Chief Minister’s residence, many MLAs had raised this issue prominently. Public representatives said that due to non-payment of transfers for a long time, work in many departments is being affected and employees are facing personal and family problems.
Apart from this, many ministers had also demanded removal of transfer ban in cabinet meetings.
Steps towards administrative reforms and increasing efficiency
The government has taken this decision after taking feedback from various departments and after detailed review. It is believed that this will balance the vacant posts in the departments, increase administrative efficiency and resolve the long pending demands of the employees.
Now till July 5, 2026, the process of transfers is likely to remain fast across the state and transfer related activities will increase in various departments.
conclusion
The decision of Rajasthan Government to lift the transfer ban is being considered as a big relief for the employees and officers. A humanitarian approach has also been seen by giving priority especially to women, disabled and employees suffering from serious illness. There is a possibility of large scale transfers in various departments of the state in the coming days.
